There was a time in my life when I refused to wear black. Everything I owned was brightly colored, printed or patterned. And while I’ve since come around on the power of the LBD and the versatility of black jeans, I still gravitate primarily toward what you might call “special” pieces. I love my millennial pink boiler suit, silver sequin joggers and multiple tulle midi skirts. But truth be told, they’re a little tricky to style for everyday wear. It wasn’t until I started playing around with the closet-organizing app Finery that I truly figured out why.
The simplest way to describe Finery is as a wardrobe-organizing app akin to Cher Horowitz’s amazing digital closet from Clueless. But really it does so much more than that. By keeping a record of everything you’ve ever purchased, Finery gives you a bird’s-eye view of every dress, sweater and pair of jeans you own, allowing you to not only play dress-up with your own clothes but also finally confront the fact that you have, say, far too many going out tops and not enough work-appropriate blouses. It will even suggest items to help fill in your wardrobe gaps, a feature that I needed more than I knew.
